It adds an additional control panel to the Polysix and increases itsmusical possibilities.

There are two different mods which can both be used at the same time:The pitch mod routes the envelope to the pitch. You can choose thepolarity of the envelope and the reference point in the envelope wherethe pitch is not changed. This mod is very useful to create portamentolike effects, brass instruments, percussive sounds and much more.

The second mod is the voice spread mod which is a very powerful tool.You can determine the amount of voice spread, route the envelope and oneof two LFOs to it and switch voice spreading on and off in poly mode.This mod can be used to adjust and modulate the fatness of the sound inunison mode, in poly mode you can modulate how detuned the Polysixsounds. This can lead to more natural sounds, but can also be used toaccomplish complex sound effects.

Unfortunately the Juno 106 is DCO based with one master oscillator for all the voices. So a simple mod like this is not possible. Instead you would have to build 5 more high frequency master oscillators.Changing the control words of the DCOs would only get you a course adjustment of the pitches.

Jea, quite hard with the DCOs...An additional filter envelope however is not too complicated, if you only design an AR envelope..
